I'm every woman
I am not quite sure when it happened. Perhaps it began shortly after the birth of my son Jah and maybe I was just still too high on all the "good stuff" they were so gracious to hit me off with in the hospital postpartum to notice. Perhaps it was before that, when we finally settled upon a name for the little "space invader" doing Pilates in my womb. Or maybe, if I dare wax poetic for a moment, it has just always been and is now as it should be.
I guess that when it began to stick is of little consequence, because the reality is that, bar none, my most popular moniker among the people these days is that of "Jah's Mom". (By "people" I at least mean the nurses at the doctor's offices, swim instructors, tap instructors, overzealous "Bruce Leroy" like karate instructors (sorry, Sensei) and anyone under the age of ten.)

But, what of "KC?" That sometimes sassy, somewhat classy, fried fish lovin', sushi savoring, never predictable flaming ball of contradictions from whatever side of the tracks she happens to land on any given day, sweetie pie. What of her and her myriad personas? KC, KC...where for art thou KC? Has "Jah's Mom" in all her "dressing for comfort/not style" soccer mom glory taken over for good.
Fear not beloved. The artist/woman/sister friend/ part-time freedom fighter a.k.a "KC" is not ready to completely throw in the towel. With the help of her larger than life alter ego "Cool KC"-one shaped and formed on the hallowed grounds of the yard @ Howard University circa 1990- she is poised to reclaim some space on this play ground of life and she figures that cyber space is as good a place as any to stake her claim. "Jah's Mom" is a great lady, bless her heart. But she would not be as great if not for "Sister K", "Cool KC", "Ms. K", "Deejah-Dee", "KD" and "KUDAR- long story" and their varied experiences. Ergo, these sistas need some airtime too.
Towards this end, I welcome you to our musings on all things that make KC, and her myriad personas, KC. Many posts will likely include my infatuation with all things pleasing to the senses (or assaultive- like my recent "Wire" marathon), what I consider to be interesting exchanges b/w folks that occur throughout my day and, on occasion, things that I need to get off my chest so that I can get some sleep (we will try to keep these posts to a minimum...who needs the agida!)
To all of my friends who have put up with my infatuation for providing unsolicited detail, coupled with my early onset Dementia, (which causes frequent repetition of said details) I thank you for putting up with me. This blog should provide your ears with a well earned respite.
Side Bar.....Big Ups to my BFK who is constantly encouraging me to "hurry up and write" so that she can be my "Gayle"(u know, Oprah's friend) and "swing on my coat tails" This Blogs for you Boo! It may not be our best selling masterpiece...but it's a start!
To my little love muffin Zion, still baking away in my BFK's belly, Auntie loves you already! I wait with baited breath to make your acquaintance, to hear all the good stuff you are coming to share with us all and to teach you the importance of a having a well researched list of 'top ten mc's'....xoxoxo!
